I’m incredibly grateful and honored to have made the 2026 Top Producers list at Wallace Real Estate.

Truthfully, achievements like this don’t happen alone. My business has always been built on relationships, referrals, repeat clients, friends, family, and people who continue to trust me during some of the biggest decisions of their lives. That support means more to me than I can properly put into words.

To every client who chose me, every past client who referred a friend or family member, every person who liked, shared, commented, recommended me, or simply encouraged me along the way… thank you. My success is completely tied to your trust and support, and I never take that for granted.

I’m excited for what’s ahead and looking forward to continuing to help more people buy, sell, and navigate life here in East Tennessee.

Seriously… thank you all. You’ve helped build this more than you know.

We all mistakenly meet someone that's charming or we rush into a decision not thinking about the person that we're bringing along with us. There are thousands and thousands of realtors out there, and everybody knows one but not every realtor is built the same.

These aren't the only red flags but these are pretty decent red flags to look out for when interviewing agents, meeting agents, or if you're already working with one.

And of course I'd be more than happy to sit down and talk to you. My contact information is in my profile.
